A dear friend who has battled cancer on and off for 16 years is now in hospice. They have ceased treatment and are now simply trying to manage her pain as best they can. Her husband has been one of my closest friends since grade school (he walked me down the aisle at my wedding -- he's like a brother to me). When she passes, she will leave behind triplet daughters and a son. If you have a spare prayer or good thought for this beautiful family who have remained full of grace through so much pain, I'm sure they could use it. Hug your families and friends.

Cancer sucks.
